  1. GOOD LUCK, oh btw you could do with a little more radius on your knee ammo/battery belt, but this shouldn't hold you up
  2. Thought you had been quite for a while, best of luck with the transition
  3. It depends on we're the ears are touching, if you hold the ear tight against the helmet then go around the base of the ear with a pencil it will leave a line where you need to trim. Ears are hard and take a lot of work to get right. Just hang in there once you get one right the other will be easy
  4. The objective i believe was for a more screen accurate look, the helmets used in ANH were painted and some can be seen with chips. A few have come up at auction over the years and you can see the chips and wear. Some good pics here http://www.starwarshelmets.com/original-stormtrooper-comparisons.htm
  5. I have seen just about every type of screw used, even rivets, from what I have read and believe to be true the screen accurate screws were black, domed and slotted
  6. No you just have to trim to fit. On screen versions they had gaps but most try for s nice tight finish. Ears take a lot of sanding and trimming to get right. Have a look at some of the helmet building threads to compare.
  7. Very cool troop, some nice photos, thanks for sharing
  8. Looking good Jeremy, best of luck with approval, hope it won't be long until we see and EIB application
  9. Very cool be watching you put it all together, good luck, btw the panic should have set in right about NOW lol
  10. Could paint grey to the edges top and bottom of your frown, would look better
  11. We are trying to get some sizing for TK boots at the moment, Jenny has measurements of her size 7's in this thread http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/22622-tkboots-sizing-solution/
  12. Final adjustments are a pain, just after you think it is all finished, shouldn't be too hard to mod. Nice work there Jenny, good luck for your partners approval
  13. I trimmed the top of my ab edge to 5mm and the chest piece I left about 10mm on the bottom edge, some trim off more. I used a bit of heat on the sides of the shins while holding them close to relieve the springing out, the trick while putting them on is to open them and guide them over you ankle, your foot doesn't go through them. In the picture above I glued the front velcro to the blue cover strip, this allows those with larger calves to have a bigger cover strip
